Honestly the set up here speaks more to me that a kid it being anti social and parents are trying to pull them out of it. That there would be a family gathering and the kid is not already part of it shows some sort of dysfunction.

What cracked me up is that's a grown-ass man.

The discontinuity between his apparent age and the tone that the parent was taking is what got me. Also how he's hiding in a dark attic with bloodshot eyes...
